Why wouldn’t you tell your kids that you’re proud of them?!? In this episode, we look at what it means to be proud of something, and propose an alternative that can actually build up our kids even better.

After a brief explanation of the concept, we’re joined by our 20 year old daughter for some real-life stories of what this has meant to her from her perspective growing up.

Finally, we’ll leave you with a couple of practical ways you can put this counter-intuitive concept into practice depending on what stage your kids are in.

As always, we don’t expect everyone to agree that this concept is correct or is right for your family, but if it gets you thinking and more intentional with your parenting, then it’s worthwhile.
